Well everyone who tries it loves it.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

This beef is so very tender, and the seasoning make this absolutely delectable! I used "just a pinch" of each of the listed spices... but season to your taste. Next time I may try caramelizing the onions and green pepper to add even MORE flavor to the sandwich. Yum!!

 

Directions

1
Now I have an oval crock pot...not sure of the size so you will have to judge if you have a smaller one.
2
Put roast in crock pot...use a good coat of all the seasonings listed.
Add lipton onion soup mix...
Add a beer (I use a Bud)*** can use 2 if you like.
Add 2 boxes of beef broth
***roast should be covered completely.
Turn crock pot on low/med and go to work.
Cook 4-6 hrs till falling apart. Could be longer according to how your crock cooks.
3
Now I shred mine with a fork...Get a chunk to fill sandwich and shred. If you like bread can be toasted...use juice for a dip. YUM!
Now this is the way I prefer...
I get my chunk shredded then slice onion and bell pepper very very thin. Use some juice and saute on stove...add swiss cheese and toast then use juice to dip...EVEN MORE YUM!!!

Hey, Gordon, wonder how the au jus or French Dip would taste over rice?

this sounds womderful! I just thawed out some beef stew meat and was not in the mood for beef stew. I will modify this recipe, do this on the stove, slow and low, (not enough meat for my large crockpot). Then shred it up a bit when done. I even have onions and a pepper in the frige. Maybe I will whip up some homemade buns to put it on...can't wait.

I'm wondering about the sodium content. Any ideas to reduce the salt?

This sounds like a great recipe. A Keeper. I always carmelize my onions, especially in French Onion Soups. I have found the best way to do this is after the onions are sliced very thin and saute'd in real butter til just starting to tenderize and then popping them in a very low oven 175-200 and let them cook all night. I used to make soups for a Bakery/Restaurant and found not only was there a great flavor but the onions were truly carmelized without spending so much time waiting for them to get done.

I have a question ... when you say Emmeril Essentials as a spice ... just which one are your referring to? I'm not sure about that one ... oh yeah and I don't measure either! lol ... I just bought some really nice cuts of chuck that I think would work perfect in this ... also, can you sub something for the beer? We don't drink ...

Sandra, don't worry about the alcohol content. The alcohol burns off when cooking with it, so you are just left with the flavor. I don't drink either, but I cook with wines and beer all the time. :)
